Forever NIJ is everything that is important in my life such as health, beauty, fashion, DIY natural beauty, mindful meditation, travel, movies, and recipes I have come across. I would share them with you. I currently live in Maryland and grew up in the center of everything, Washington D.C. I was fortunate enough to grow up in Adams Morgan, a very culturally diverse neighborhood, full of ethnic and authentic restaurants, city lives. I grew up learning to explore the city through walking. You learn a lot just by walking through the streets and seeing up close. I use that same experience, any places we visit, which makes a huge difference in the outcome of the trip.
